Association between physical activity with disease activity and functional disability in patients with inflammatory bowel disease

Key Points

• Clinical remission rates improve significantly with higher physical activity in Crohn's disease patients, and
• IBD-related functional disability decreases in both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis patients who engage in moderate to high physical activity levels.
• The observational study focused on a large cohort of inflammatory bowel disease patients, and
• Results indicate the importance of promoting physical activity as a potential therapeutic approach for managing IBD.
